• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Despite the old age of the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. Is he in order, to mislead the House that he was listening to the points as he has said, enumerated by the Mover? Instead, as a seconder, he should have come up with his own points to second the Bill. view
• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker! view
• 14 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Motion has been moved properly and the Report, as you said, is available. I even have a copy. However, I was requesting, today being an important day for the national Budget, that, with your discretion, under Standing Order No. 1, you defer this debate to a later date. This is because even the Order Paper says that not later than 3.00 p.m.; we will hear the highlights of the Budget. I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for the national Treasury is still in traffic jam. It is already 3.00 p.m. now as ... view
• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the allocation for the National Assembly but it is lower than what was expected to be given. The Senate has taken a lot of money for no reason, but I support. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support it. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Devolution in its current form and shape was meant to cure marginalisation. I do not think the Equalisation Fund will finish marginalisation in our country. We look like people who are chasing a squirrel and we have forgotten the antelope. The money that is supposed to finish marginalisation in our country is that which has been devolved to the various counties. From the debate, Members are saying that the Equalisation Fund is the one that will finish marginalisation in this country. Marginalisation is all over the country. Even where I come from, there are areas that are marginalised, but I ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Chairman of the Committee has brought a Bill taking into account only 14 counties. The number of counties must be increased. The Equalisation Fund must be taken to the rest of the country. Some of these counties that claim to be marginalised like Turkana, receive more devolved funds than other counties in the country. They now have oil and underground water that can serve the whole of the African continent. So, as much as we support the Fund to be a kind of affirmative action to bring up communities that have been left behind for ... view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: I do not know who is going to administer the Fund. I am told an unknown office somewhere will be in charge. That is the way Government steals money from the people. This money, if my opinion were to be sought, should have been taken to constituencies in those counties like the NG-CDF. The NG-CDF is doing a good job. Without it, this country would not develop. I dare say that. Look at what has happened to devolved funds in counties. view
• 3 May 2018 in National Assembly: In releasing this Fund, we have not followed the Constitution for the last three years. The money should have started going to counties or communities that were supposed to receive it three years ago. The Budget and Appropriations Committee of the 11th Parliament, in which I served, slept on its job. I congratulate the current Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Even though he is trying to squeeze Kiambu to be a marginalised place, he has tried and made progress to the extent that today we can discuss the Equalisation Fund Appropriation Bill. But I do not know where ... view
